Instructions
1. Prep
Preheat oven to 175°C / 350°F.
Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk melted butter with brown sugar and white sugar until smooth.
Add eggs and vanilla; mix until creamy.
3. Add Dry Ingredients
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt together.
Stir into the wet mixture until just combined (don’t overmix).
4. Add Chocolate
Fold in the chocolate chips.
5. Bake
Spread the dough evenly into the pan.
Bake for 22–28 minutes, depending how gooey you want them.
Less time = gooey
More time = more set
Bars should be golden on top but soft in the center.
6. Cool & Serve
Let cool at least 20 minutes before cutting.
Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if using.
Slice and enjoy the gooey magic!
Tips for Extra Gooey Bars
Use melted butter, not softened.
Pull them from the oven while the center still jiggles slightly.
Add extra chocolate chips on top before baking.
